“While driving my 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, the vehicle suddenly lost power, began shaking, and all warning lights illuminated at once. The car would not accelerate properly and became unsafe to operate in traffic. After pulling over and restarting the vehicle, the warnings cleared, but the issue has occurred more than once. It first occurred 3/25/26. The dealer was not able to reproduce the issue but found numerous faults and reset them. This is a serious safety concern because the vehicle can unexpectedly lose motor power while driving, creating a risk of collision. The problem is intermittent and unpredictable.”Owner report · Engine · Aug 2026
“This is the 4th time that a new fuel pump has been replaced on this 2022 Hyundai Tucson hybrid. I think the car part needs a recall because the fuel pump keeps breaking.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Jul 2026

“The blind spot warning went off and locked all the brakes up. We were not able to move the vehicle and could not even pull off the road out of traffic. There is no way to disable the brakes when the computer or sensors are malfunctioning. We had to get the vehicle towed.”Owner report · Forward Collision Avoidance · Jun 2025
“Wipers stop working. They will freeze and stop moving across the windshield. So far I can fix the problem by turning the wipers off and then back on. My concern is that may not work in the future. Also, in heavy rain an accident may happen before I can restart the wipers. I brought the car in to the dealership, but they could not find anything wrong.”Owner report · Visibility/Wiper · Jun 2025
“The car has had a check engine light on for a week. It sometimes jolts forward when pressing on the accelerator and it does it all of a sudden. Took it to the Hyundai dealership they say it's due to the egr valve and sub harness.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · May 2025
“Hyundai has a service bulletin for their 12V battery but isn't notifying owners. Today my vehicle stopped working and lost all acceleration on a busy 3 lane street that is 55mph. I was able to limp it to a left turn lane where I had to research the issue and found many others had instances like mine. The battery stops working and subsequently stops the vehicle from accelerating and tells you to 'stop safely' with no warning or indication that you're about to stop moving on a road.”Owner report · Engine · Jan 2025
“I've experienced repeated electrical and mechanical issues with my 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. These include full battery drainage without engine activation (leaving me stranded), multiple warning lights, and recently a heater failure that remains unresolved. I've had over 8 service visits in two years, and Hyundai has not responded to my formal letter. A detailed timeline is available if needed.”Owner report · Power Train · Nov 2024
“While driving down interstate, the panoramic sunroof panel above the driver and front seat passenger spontaneously exploded and shattered. This occurred on a clear sunny morning and there were no other vehicles on the road in the area at the time.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Nov 2024
